Needs local verification: Compiled in October 2026 from the Gals.md kite club, Kiteforum.com, Unplug and Let's Kite. The club's teaching pages date from 2015–2016, so current lessons need confirming; exact launch, parking and reservoir rules need on-site confirmation. The water table is a seasonal estimate for lowland reservoirs.
Local hazards
